I voted no. You can call it arrogance or refusing to learn or whatever you want to. I do my learning in the deer woods through actual experience and though I have only been bowhunting for going on 20 years, I have learned through trial and error and been a pretty good student of the game. I enjoy the site and I think their is some good info (and some bad) passed around but at this point in my hunting career I have done and tried just about everything where whitetails are concerned and had some pretty respectable success doing so. I have read some really good stuff on here but I just haven't ever read anything on here that made me say "wow I never heard of that or wow I need to try that". No disrespect meant to the site or anyone here, but I come here fuel the fire and share the passion but my learning comes from hands on experience. Flame away..

Apology sincerely accepted. I was probably just a tad over reactive simply because so many refuse to accept my answer. LOL Have a nice day everyone.

RE: Simple. Are you a better hunter because of what you read here?
I'm not as good. I can't walk as far, climb the hills, drag the dead meat or any of that as well as I did when I was young lean 160 pound Captain in Uncle Sams Army straight off 2 years in Vietnam. And frankly, I don't try to anymore. It used to be an obsession. Now it's somewhere between an IV and a heart pill. If someone ask real nice I can be talked out of a hunt in favor of a golf match. LOL 2 years ago on opening day of NY's Southern Tier I had this buck coming right to me. I called my buddy and told him, buck coming... yup a shooter. We were back in about a mile. He said if you shoot that thing we'll never get him out of the woods for hours. We're suppose to leave the woods at 9:30 to go golfing, do what you want. The deer walked by with another buck and 4 does at 22 yards. I climbed down and walked out. LOL I won at golf.
